Each term (semester) Bluesky will get a new crop of students (committers) and the old ones will be gone forever. Are we to keep on creating new committer accts for these folks knowing damn well that at the end of the term they disappear and a new lot appears? This is why they ( when they did commit) shared accounts. For the infra requirements of an Apache project alone, this project does not fit. Sounds like a great project, but not one that belongs here under its current style of working. If they can change that somehow ... (It's also obvious a 'community' will never get time to gel as the next lot move out/in , It's also obvious outsiders to Bluesky will likely not be able to participate, as that is not what the project is about - from their end. (So a diverse community cannot be built...) I see no benefit to the ASF or Bluesky in continuing on, but I hope to be mistaken.
